‘God TV’ In Shambles After Founder Leaves Wife For Mistress, Abandons Network

[kpete]

God TV, one of the biggest Christian television networks in the world, is in complete disarray after its founder left his wife to move to South Africa with his girlfriend.

According to Wendy Alec, her husband Rory was seduced by a “Jezebel” jazz musician and had begun having an affair. Citing Satan, Wendy claimed that the woman stole her husband for ungodly reasons and the two have fled Israel (where God TV is based) to live on a farm in South Africa. For his part, Rory admits that he is now living with the woman but denies that she was sent by Satan.

1. Free at last, Free at last.

[Lochloosa]

2. Thank Jazz Almighty, I'm free at last.

[librechik]

24. +1!

lol

[alfredo]

48. The Devil has the best music.

[brewens]

3. They will work around that somehow and get the money rolling in again. It's a religion

so you can pretty much just make shit up as you go.

[fadedrose]

28. ++++

How very true.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

64. I'm sure the special tithes for his heavenly redemption are already pouring in.

[merrily]

4. "but denies she was sent by Satan"

[CTyankee]

6. I'm with you on that...the very best quote in the whole thing...

[merrily]

8. I couldn't make it up if I tried.

[cyberswede]

13. That's the money quote!

[Dustlawyer]

14. Next he will say his wif IS Satan!

[NewJeffCT]

23. Of course

that will be the next step - either the mistress or the good reverend will claim the wife is an agent of Satan...

[Enthusiast]

16. They never admit it.

50. Well, they *can't*

In the Burning Times, they'd try to force you to confess. But, if you were a minion of Satan, you couldn't confess, it was in the contract. Satan wouldn't allow it.

If you didn't confess, you must be guilty, so they'd hang/burn/stone you. Your progeny were disinherited and all your property was confiscated. It often went to your accuser, to reward him/her for fighting Satan.

So, if you confessed, you obviously weren't guilty.

BUT, they'd banish you and dispossess your progeny to something like the third generation, because you confessed...

Banishment meant walking to some settlement where you weren't known in the hopes they'd take you in. Of course they wouldn't because any woman walking alone would be suspected of being suspected of witchcraft.

Religion is always this logical.

[fadedrose]

31. He has no proof . . .

What we need is to hear the bad stuff about his former wife and then we could make up our minds....

Till then, I'm withholding my opinion.

[merrily]

34. Look, she's either sent by Satan or she isn't. It's a matter of fact, not opinion.

[fadedrose]

38. How do you know?

You got a 3rd eye on your forehead?

I think it's only fair to Satan's wife sent to the godly man if she is vindicated by the terrible things done by the first wife who was REALLY sent by Satan (fact, not opinion) and the couple has justification for their actions.

All first wives aren't perfect and gawd-chosen either, and if Satan has this guy pegged, he will go thru a string of Satan's picks. He's a victim, poor thing.

[merrily]

40. For all we know, God TV was sent by Satan!

I never heard of it before, but anything is possible.

In theory.

[alfredo]

49. It was ihookup.com

[merrily]

53. I knew it!

[Arugula Latte]

57. Was Satan unavailable for comment or something?

At least he could have given a "I can neither confirm nor deny" type of answer.

[merrily]

74. He's such a diva.

[justhanginon]

5. To quote Flip Wilson

a popular TV comedian from the seventies, "the devil made me do it". Flip Wilson was a funny guy!

[CTyankee]

7. "and then he pulled a gun!"

I loved that routine...

[RKP5637]

12. Yep, he was great! n/t

[ctsnowman]

9. lol thanks for the post.

[Fred Sanders]

10. Not to worry, the sheeple will be convinced it is Satan at work and keep sending money. Or another

outfit will take over the abandoned territory. Evangelical preachers are like drug dealers, any vacuum
will be filled. The addicts demand their product.

[RKP5637]

11. This sh** gets so freaky it's hard to believe sometimes it's reality based. n/t

[packman]

15. Religion defined--

When the first con man met the first fool.

[fadedrose]

32. This definition belongs on stickers and T-Shirts

Have a bunch printed and sell them online. You'll make a bundle...

[Nay]

17. You couldn't make this shit up. Honestly. It's a parody of a parody. nt

[drray23]

18. well

It does say go forth and multiply.. he must be taking this to heart.

Kidding aside, i always viewed mega churches or tv pastors with suspicion. When your ministry gets into the realm of big money, there are legitimate concerns this might just be a sham operation.

[fadedrose]

33. I don't know about that

Are you saying that God can't raise money honestly?

Surely not.

[logosoco]

44. There is a mega church around where I live.

I always say, the money he spends on bill boards and hair spray alone could pay for school lunches for all the kids in the city of St. Louis for a year.

[99Forever]

19. Tell me it ain't so.

The All-Powerful, All-Seeing, All-Controlling Gawd would never let that happen to His Faithful. It's SACRILEGE I say.

[RufusTFirefly]

20. It's all part of His plan, I'm sure. n/t

[Arugula Latte]

59. I'm a bit confused. If this is "ungodly," isn't that admitting that Gawd is NOT All-Powerful?

Apparently there are areas where The Lord has let some control slip away from him. I don't know about you, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for in an Omnipotent Deity.

[hibbing]

21. "Citing Satan"

Hehe, that is some funny stuff.

Peace

[eppur_se_muova]

47. Definitely not a phrase you hear every day.

(Well, maybe if I were in banking ... )

[Beowulf42]

22. OMG

Niagara Falls? Slowly I turned......Step by Step...... Is this a vaudeville routine. Nothing is more amusing than religion.

[BlueJazz]

25. Those filthy, disgusting Jazz Musicians did it again. Corrupted a Holy, Saintly Man.

I'll tell ya..anybody that has anything to do with "Jazz Stuff" should go straight to hell.

[Feral Child]

52. "Syncopated taint"

Source is some early anti-cannabis advertising. Because Jazz Musicians would use "reefer" to tempt white women into doing the nasty.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

54. Oh my gosh, I must have been corrupted Friday night!!

And I didn't even realize it!!!

I saw Chick Corea perform at the local opera house!! Oh my heavens!!!

Nominated for 59 Grammys, has won 20 of them.

[Feral Child]

75. Lucky you!

Must have been a great concert.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

56. And you know about Paul McCartney?

He calls reefers "jazz cigarettes"!!!!

Those jazz musicians will get ya!!

[Arugula Latte]

61. These damn evil beatniks with their berets and their bongos and their turtlenecks

and their dark glasses and their satanic jazz music! *shakes fist*

[MADem]

26. Hilarity ensued! This sounds like a great premise for a movie with an ensemble cast

plucked from the cast list of Best In Show. I'd pay to see it!

[fadedrose]

43. The farm animals from Charlotte's Web

would be a better cast selection, but only if they have evil dopplegangers. No respectable pig or spider would play any of the parts....

And I thought you LIKED dogs.

[MADem]

45. Ha ha....I think if they played it for laughs they'd have a hit on their hands! nt

[EEO]

27. Good.

[riverbendviewgal]

29. will bill maher mention this on his show?

I would not be surprised.

[rurallib]

30. it is just so biblical

God, Satan, men sinning with wanton women.
Bet he took the money too.

[DFW]

35. The God Squad in disarray, oh, my!

But I doubt the guy's new lover was sent by Satan. "www.hotrussianbabes.com" maybe?

[AlbertCat]

36. God TV

I thought the whole universe was god TV.....

BTW.... what the hell is the "American Heroes Channel" and when the hell did it appear?

I don't watch much TV but I have all the cable bells and whistles at the beach house for guests to enjoy (and I do at times of course). So one of my friends had left it on American Heroes Channel. They were in the middle of something about the stupid Shroud of Turin (again? Still?) and next up was "Mysteries of the Bible". An ad came on for "Ancient Assassins", a show about ninjas and Sparta and Thugs (the Indian kind) and stuff like that.
These are "American heroes"??????

Can't we already get these lame shows on "The History Channel"?

[Turbineguy]

37. Maybe she had bigger

Devils dumplings.

[Lochloosa]

39. Those are Dirty Pillows.

[tiptonic]

41. Praise jesus

Praise jesus and pass the collection plate.

[fadedrose]

42. DU can depress and cheer me up

This OP is very cheerful. Thank you.

No mention of guillotines being set up in South Africa to punish the couple like the ones being built in the US, according to Baptists?

[philosslayer]

60. So a broken marriage cheers you up?

Interesting perspective....

[Gidney N Cloyd]

62. I suspect the only thing that actually broke here was the news.

[fadedrose]

66. Aren't most marriages broken?

At least Satan had the sense to have them move away from that awful Christian station. He will find a husband for the wife in miracle time....

[noiretextatique]

67. it's the hyprocrisy

you know, the head of GOD TV is an adulterer yes...this is great news. one less snake oil salesman on the teevee.

[Crunchy Frog]

71. Seeing a Christian TV station hoisted on its own petard

and the ridiculous spin surrounding it, is funny as hell, and definitely cheers me up.

And someone getting out of a bad marriage to be with someone they may actually love? Not a tragedy in my book.

[weissmam]

46. total joke :)

[shenmue]

51. I get that channel

Haven't seen them change their programming much yet.

[Arugula Latte]

55. Rory is walkin' the Appalachian Trail, so to speak.

Gawd 'n' Jebus, it's amazing to me that people still buy into this religoius hokum in this day and age ...

[roaminronin]

58. Ran away from his wife?: Yes Sent by Satan?: No

For his part, Rory admits that he is now living with the woman but denies that she was sent by Satan.

But he probably will think his wife's attorney is.

[Liberal_in_LA]

63. the wife blames satan and the other woman but not hubby

[Crunchy Frog]

72. I've noticed this about fundamentalist Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Males are not considered to have agency over their own sexuality, and when they "sin", the woman is generally considered responsible. Hence the restrictions on women, the segregation of genders, the insistence on "modest" clothing, among other things.

[Liberal_in_LA]

73. yep.

[malaise]

65. Do the gullible people who watch and fund these morons

ever get refunds?

[Mister Nightowl]

68. K&R

[bluesbassman]

69. Mitch Ryder denied having anything to do with this...

[Sognefjord]

70. Cue the Church Lady!!
